Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Rockfish, Perch, and Topwater Action Abound
# Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report – November 29, 2025
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning Chesapeake Bay fishing update!
Let's start with the conditions. We're looking at low tides around 8-9 AM depending on your location, with highs coming in around 2-3 PM. Sunrise was early this morning, and we'll lose daylight by 5 PM, so get out there while you can. Temperatures are dropping into the 30s with light winds, perfect fall fishing weather.
The rockfish bite has been absolutely solid around the Bay Bridge lately. Anglers are pulling slot and over-slot fish in the 16 to 26-inch range, with some real beauties hitting 28 inches. The key is fishing deep—we're talking 30 to 70 feet of water near the pilings and rockpiles. Jigging spoons have been lights out, and if you can get live spot or liveline herring, you're golden. Metal jigs in silver and white are your best bet.
Up in the upper bay, white perch have been schooling thick in 20 to 40 feet near the shoals. Bloodworms are the ticket here, though they'll cost you. The Patapsco River's been producing solid action from Fort McHenry down to the mouth, and the Chester River has been showing some decent striped bass bites with topwater action during bird shows.
Don't sleep on the creeks either. The Magothy River's been fantastic for pickerel in the tidal sections near docks and structure. Schoolie stripers have been hitting small jigging spoons at the river mouth too.
**Two hot spots I'd hit today:**
First, the **Bay Bridge rock piles**—classic structure holding quality rockfish in deeper water. Second, **Brewerton Channel**—fantastic ledges and structure for both rockfish and white perch.
The bite should be solid with these cold temperatures pushing fish deeper. Get your heavy jigs and metal spoons ready, and if you've got spot available, don't leave home without it.
